Your Highway Taxes at Work. Hard to imagine they could do all this for a little more than a half a million dollars. Today that sign would cost half a million $!

The new route 395 being constructed. This view is looking north from Quaker Street down to the VIllage. You can see the Methodist Church in the upper right.

Further down the hill still looking north at South Main Street in the Village.

Looking north on South Main Street at the corner of East and West Shore Roads. Standing in front of the Telephone Company building.

Same location as the previous photo before the trees were removed.

South Main Street looking northeast at the Zubal home and Dr. Hinsdale's office.

Same location as previous photo but standing in the intersection of East and West Shore Rds and Main Street.

Same location with the trees removed. Here you can see the Drinon house, currently the Mackie home at the far right. Standing in front of the Methodist Church.

Still looking north further up Main Street just before the R.R. Crossing. Standing in front of currently the Gifford residence.

Just before the R.R. Crossing was English's Market. It straddled the Normans Kill Creek. Hard to imagine they would build a house over a creek. Talk about a wet basement!

Same location as the previous photo but English's Market has been removed. Notice the old Railroad house that was still standing.

Looking west at North Main just over the RR tracks from left to right was the Shoudy House, Dobert's Store and the Central House Hotel.

Looking north on North Main St. at the intersection of Maple Ave (currently Thousand Acre Rd. The Post Office and Carroll's Store on the left. Florence Jackson's house on the right.
